Caleb had a sensational second half (arguably season saving) on both ends.

Shut down Pickett playing with 3 fouls.

4-5 from the field in the second half. He also had 4 assists in this game.

Because CM played elite defense.
I understand that. But Pickett was averaging 32 ppg in the last 3, got off to a great start, and didn’t get a single shot off in the second half when his team couldn’t score down the stretch. It’s shocking, is all. Great guards take contested shots against great defense all the time when their team needs them to score

He stopped trying to shoot. He started to drive to kick as opposed to drive to shoot. If that makes sense.

Caleb played ELITE defense on him in the 2nd half, but it was also really good team defense, with Cam switching, and Cliff hedging hard.

BRILLIANT!!
We needed him to guard Douglass from UM. Douglass went right at Cam every time Cam was guarding him. That was the game with UM.

Brilliant 2nd half after he had a rough first half for sure. I think he dug down and told himself, 2.5 halves left in my senior year and the bid is in jeopardy, how do I want this to play out? He showed up BIG TIME (the missed FT being the lone exception).

11 points first half

0 points second half on 0 shot attempts

Caleb’s second half defense was beyond elite. Truly amazing. As for Picket, as I posted elsewhere he is a great offensive player, but he gets away with clearing out defenders by lowering his shoulder and charging, but almost never gets called for it. It is infuriating to watch.
